Ok. So you already have an /Applications/Macports/MacPython 2.4/ 
PythonLauncher.app and MacPorts doesn't know where it came from.  
Remove it, then try again. Alternately, you can use "sudo port -f  
install python24" which will force MacPorts to move existing  
conflicting items out of the way (but then you'll have to clean up  
those moved items later).

Curious that it says "/Applications/Macports"; the correct  
capitalization of that directory is "MacPorts". Which is actually on  
your hard drive?
